Regardless of which side, this is the message.
That being said, I'm sure there is a special place in hell for terrorist bombers, and I'd love to see the look on their faces when they're not greeted by their promised virgins.
For about a 13 year span from 2003-2016, Peter Berg was consistently one of my favourite directors. That span of course included 'The Kingdom', which is my fourth favourite film of his.
The beginning of the film starts off with a bang. Then the investigation happens, and this is where the film drags a bit. It makes some broad leaps in the investigation process, and would have benefitted from a bit more in depth analysis, which is what I think Berg wanted, but was constrained by the studio. The climax is intense and gritty, both of which Berg is known for, and it really delivers in the final stage.
All four actors, consisting of Foxx, Garner, Cooper, and Bateman are believable and entertaining.
